Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

When the army returned to the court, there were many people on the main road, but Guo Shao always felt that the joy of returning to the court after victory was gone. There are many people, but there is a sense of loneliness.

Guo Shao and the ministers decided on some matters such as the rest of the imperial army, pensions, and military pay in the Jinxiang Hall, and then went to the east side of the Jinxiang Hall.

Fu Jinzhan is no longer there. As soon as Guo Shao came back, she took the initiative to retreat to the harem, which seemed to show her unintentional obsession with power.

Guo Shao walked into the hut where the files were kept and sat down alone. The chaotic things these days came to mind, the attack on Youzhou was not smooth, a brother died, and people rebelled when he came back... He realized that this dynasty was not as strong and stable as he imagined.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his forehead, thinking about what to do next and who to meet... The person he most wanted to see was Jinzhan.

At this moment, Zuo You begged to see him.

Guo Shao directly asked Zuo You to come into this hut to talk. Zuo You talked about Yang Ye and Zhe Dejian who Li Yun had contacted. Guo Shao just nodded from time to time, pretending to be listening.

Guo Shao picked up the Go pieces on the table and played with them for a while, then suddenly said: "Mr. Zuo..."

Zuo You hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please ask me."

Guo Shaoruo said thoughtfully: "After Li Yun's rebellion was leaked, there is no chance of winning. If his subordinates work hard for him, they will die in vain. But why can he drive his subordinates to launch an attack on Shi Yanchao, and even deploy outside the city?"

Zuo You was stunned for a moment, and said, "Perhaps... it's because of Li Yun's usual prestige?"

Guo Shao shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "They are a small hill."

Zuo You suddenly said: "Then Yang Ye and Zhe Dejian..."

Guo Shao glanced at him, coughed, picked up a sunspot with his fingers, and made trivial movements on the table. He thought: Xiaoshantou is inevitable, but this may also be regarded as a kind of team.

He was thinking not only of Yang Ye and Zhe Dejian, but also of Li Chuyun...Even Guo Shao himself has a small mountain and a team; Li Chuyun is a member of this team.

Li Chuyun has two characteristics: first, he has a sense of belonging and loyalty to the dynasty; second, he has ability. Although he did not perform well in the battle of Wen Yuhe (losing the initiative of the battle, holding the most elite heavy troops, but threatened the emperor Xingyuan), his long-term performance before is enough to prove his talent.

For the time being, no one has taken the opportunity to criticize Li Chuyun and pursue specific responsibilities for the Wen Yuhe battle. Ordinary people can avoid it, because Li Chuyun's daughter is a noble concubine, and Li Chuyun's bad luck is not good for them. What Guo Shao thought of was Shi Yanchao. If someone is willing to make use of the problem, Shi Yanchao is most likely to come forward.

Guo Shao glanced at Zuo You, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Qin Dynasty, 'China' has been the strongest, and the root of all problems is internal problems."

On the same day, Guo Shao ordered the eunuch Cao Tai to go to the place where Li Yuaner lived first.

While Li Yuan'er was happy, she looked very surprised. Guo Shao only returned to Tokyo today, so the court must have known about it long ago.

Maybe she realized something, but she happily took the little prince from the nurse and taught him: "Father, call him Father."

The boy looked at Guo Shao with shining eyes, he was less than one year old. The child born to Li Yuan'er was much quieter than the second son of the second sister. When Guo Shao was in Tokyo, both parties often came to visit, but he didn't remember the child crying.

Guo Shao couldn't help but said: "I'm not a very good father, and I haven't asked my son much."

Li Yuan'er said softly: "Your Majesty is the father of all people in the world, so he should put the most important things first. We women are supposed to care for our husbands and teach our children."

Guo Shao nodded and said, "Now that I fight Jiangshan, it will be theirs in the future."

He thought that Li Yuan'er would modestly say that the second sister's son was the legitimate son, because Li Yuan'er was supposed to be more docile.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan'er said softly: "The country belongs to His Majesty, but His Majesty has someone to succeed him."

Guo Shao was stunned after hearing this, and looked at Li Yuan'er. Li Yuan'er lowered his head with a gentle expression on his face.

That night, Li Yuan'er served with all her heart.

Guo Shao occasionally lost his mind at night, and remembered that when he was writing in the Jinxiang Palace during the day, the eunuchs rubbed the ink very thickly, and the brush fell on the white paper, with a great contrast between black and white.

Between the beds, Li Yuan'er asked him, wouldn't the queen be unhappy if he came here just after he came back?

Guo Shao couldn't answer.

Li Yuan'er said softly again: "I don't understand His Majesty's way of governing the country, but I believe that His Majesty must be for the people of the world in his heart."

...

Before dawn the next day, the Xuande Gate was brightly lit inside and outside, and the civil and military ministers were going to enter the palace with lanterns. Everyone looked sideways on the road, because Wang Pu entered the palace and was still chewing with a pancake in his hand. Wei Renpu, who was most familiar with him, was very calm, as if he was used to it, but Wei Renpu never did such a thing.

Most of the officials went to the official offices in the imperial city, and only a small part went to the Jinxiang Hall first.

The eunuch Cao Tai personally received the ministers outside the palace, but the ministers had to be searched first. Everyone has long been used to it, it's just a rule, the general handed over his sword, and then stood there for the eunuchs to search and let him go.

Li Chuyun handed over the saber, and stood there calmly with his arms outstretched.

Cao Tai stepped forward at this time, and said in a low voice, "The official family just returned to court yesterday, and they are at the imperial concubine's place."

Li Chuyun didn't say a word. But the colleagues before and after turned their heads to look at him one after another. Obviously, although Cao Tai's voice was low, many people heard it.

After a while, Shi Yanchao came over after being searched, and said loudly with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to Li for checking, congratulations..."

"Hmph!" Li Chuyun flicked his sleeves, his bushy black beard almost turned up, and strode forward.

All the civil and military personnel did not go to the main hall on the front of the platform, but went straight to the east, and went to a hall behind the study. There are neatly arranged chairs on both sides of the hall.

After a while, Guo Shao, who had changed into a yellow brocade robe with a fur head, strode up to the upper position.

All the ministers knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, live forever."

Guo Shao's voice said: "Be flat, give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone said together, and then they sat down on both sides.

Under normal circumstances, the daily discussions are mostly about specific matters and propositions put forward by ministers, and Guo Shao will not say a word at first. But today, as soon as Guo Shao sat down, he said: "The Battle of Youzhou is the first time I have competed with the Liao army since I ascended the throne. I returned without success because the siege speed was not fast, but I also found some problems. It is also a cavalry. Why is the Liao army more flexible than us?"

In front of the emperor, everyone paid attention to their words and deeds, but Shi Yanchao turned his head to look at Li Chuyun, as if signaling him to speak. Li Chuyun didn't say a word, just sat there sullenly.

At this moment, Zuo You got up and clasped his fists, "I have a foolish opinion."

Guo Shaodao: "Zuo Shaoqing, but it's okay to say."

Zuo You said: "I have talked about the cavalry of the Liao army with the envoy Zan. If the cavalry of the Liao army is also 40,000, the horses of the imperial army of the Da Zhou army are probably only 40,000 to 50,000 horses; but the horses of the Liao army are more than 100,000! When we compare the strength of the troops, we only count the cavalry, not the horses. But it is the Liao army. The horses are more and better than the horses of the Da Zhou army, which puts the cavalry of the imperial army at a disadvantage."

After hearing this, everyone agreed and agreed that the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom was much stronger than that of the Great Zhou... This is also true. If the Liao Kingdom mobilized the cavalry of the whole country, it would far surpass the cavalry of the Zhou army.

Li Chuyun said at this time: "The minister has failed to fulfill His Majesty's trust, and he has not done a good job in employing troops."

Guo Shaodao: "Shunzhou, Tanzhou and other places have food and grass prepared by the Liao people, but we don't have the time and energy to attack one by one. In addition, Liao's horses have the advantage, so it is difficult to guard against it. I decided the strategy of dividing the troops to prevent the reinforcements of the Liao army at the beginning. The biggest responsibility for this matter lies with me. The strategy decided before the war is not wise."

"Your Majesty..." Li Chuyun said with emotion, "I wait for the salary of the king, so I should share my worries for your majesty."

Guo Shao waved his hand: "Your Royal Conquest, all decisions have been approved by me. General Li made no mistakes in the battle, and the mistakes in strategy cannot be blamed on the frontline generals."

Everyone said: "The minister is guilty..."

Guo Shao didn't talk much at this time, the generals began to discuss, Shi Yanchao said: "There are good horses in the northwest, we have soldiers and food, why don't we go and grab some good horses first, and then settle the score with the Liao army!"

Wang Pu let out a "huh" and said, "Your Majesty, General Shi's words are not bad. Hetao, Hexi and other places are fertile and wild, and they are the lands that are rich in good horses."

After hearing this, Guo Shao said: "If you have a good plan, you can offer it."

After Guo Shao ascended the throne, the overall national policy was to recover the sixteen prefectures of Youyun and unify the world; it has not been changed so far, but he tried it at the beginning of this year without success. \u003c
